About Marianne
Marianne Blackmore is a counsellor who aims to be easy to talk to. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, changes at work or at home, and struggles with self‑esteem. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, sleep problems and relationship or family tensions.
Marianne works in English and can communicate in American Sign Language for people who are hearing impaired. She believes the starting point is a dependable, respectful relationship.
Background and approach
Marianne invites clients to use their own experience as the guide and to explore challenges at a comfortable pace. She values creativity in sessions and often brings simple, practical ideas into conversation. Marianne has five years of professional experience.
Her approach draws on client‑centred therapy, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas. That means she listens closely, helps people find their own motivation for change, and pays attention to patterns that repeat over time. Her background includes work in education, support for carers, the creative sector and transport.
That variety informs how she adapts to different life stories and pressures. Marianne emphasises collaboration and practical next steps alongside exploring feelings and personal history. People looking for help with parenting strain, career stress, grief, low confidence, anger or complex emotional responses may find her way of working useful.
She encourages honest conversation about goals and keeps the pace adjustable to each person’s needs.

How Marianne works online
Motivational interviewing focuses on what will help someone make a change. It uses straightforward questions and reflection to build motivation for things like managing stress, reducing unhelpful habits, or taking steps in a career or parenting challenge.
Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat across relationships and time. This can help people make sense of recurring difficulties such as codependency, feelings of emptiness or unresolved grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's needs, goals and preferences, and adjust as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and removing travel time so check‑ins can be shorter when needed. If you need information on which session formats are offered, please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside work, caring responsibilities or other daily demands.
